Dear Bachmann,

I was wondering, what type of painting method do you use for your models such as air brush, dipping ext and what type of paint do you use such ass glose, ext.

Dear Bachmann,
What type of paint do you use for the thomas models (Air brush, gloss ext?)

I believe the people at bachmann just choose them out of a hat

Jack you have a good point... we do need to scale figures for a Thomas Bachmann layout.  Or maybe different sets of five or six.  An example of this would be:

Sir Topham Hatt
Mrs. Kindley
Two workman
...the butler!

Something like that for a pair of to scale figures for the Thomas range would be great.

You got the idea for the butler from watching WTLNetwork's poops, did you? 

Anyway, here's my wishlist:

Skarloey
Rheneas
Sir Handel
Peter Sam
Rusty
Duncan
Ivo Hugh
Duke
Bertram
Mighty Mac
Freddie

Ada, Jane & Mabel

Enclosed Van (Red, Blue & Brown)
Flatcar (Empty, 12t Van & Breakdown Train)
Crane
Brakevan (Red, Blue, Brown & Beatrice)
Red Coach
Green & Cream Coach
Blue Coach
Bogie Coach (Red, Blue, Green, Gertrude & Millicent)

Skarloey Starter Set (Includes Skarloey, Agnes, Lucy, Beatrice, Crovan's Gate Station, Oval of OO9 EZ Track, Gordon, Composite Coach, Brake Coach, Oval of HO EZ Track, 2 UL Listed Power Packs & Mr. Percival)

Rock n' Roll (Includes Exclusive DCC-Equipped Duncan with Rock n' Roll mechanism, Ruth, Jemima, Oval of OO9 EZ Track with special derail section & passing siding, DCC Equipped Rusty, Breakdown Train, Red Brakevan, Mr. Hugh, EZ Command Control Control & Shed)

and Donald and Douglas?

I wonder why they never did the episode of the missing coach?

I think there is more thomas stuff for 2010, because when i went to walthers.com and typed in Ho thomas i found 4 openings that just say thomas and friends take a look.

but watchout how much track cleaner u use on ur track, otherwise u will destroy your trains if u run them when the track is too wet.

I agree with you on the atlas switches, all of my loco's hit dead spots in the switches.

Who do u think has a better switch track?
